Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I bought a Bowery too - right price for the kind of bike I wanted. Now I'm just waiting for the bike to come in - so no review yet.

I'll third the Bowery as well. As no name said, it does have a sloping downtube, but I have a short inseam, and it fits me. It is a solod bike at a solid price that gives you the oprion of running fixed gear or sigle speed without adding anything. I bought this as kind of a knock around bike. I have a road bike, but I wanted something simple and fun. I'm very happy with it so far.

For edbikebabe, I rode mine twice (short rides) before we got dumped on with snow last weekend. It rides nicely. I'm looking forward to adding some bullhorns this summer.
